>But why then do the soldiers on the ground demand the A-10?

I think that's a much more difficult question to answer and probably a lot more subjective. Define "Demand"? Do they demand it over other platforms? And why? I don't have the answer to any of those, and I suspect that the extent that they demand or prefer the A-10 might be in part due to the fact that it just looks impressive. I think you might be onto something as well with regards to "seeing them in the conflict"; the A-10 is often regarded as "being down in the mud" with the troops, where as a JDAM drop from an F/A-18 or B-52 is going to be a angry fist out of nowhere. You can't bond with it, except maybe the soldier talking to it over the radio. =P

The Viggen (in DCS) is hella fun. It's very fast at low-level, and brings a different feel than any other warplane in in the sim. It's very much a product of it's time; with cutting edge electronics but from the 60s and 70s. It's also a very purpose-built craft too: The ideal Viggen mission is to plan a route to strike against a pre-planned target, dump it's warload in an instant, and get out. The electronics are rather janky and will remind you of an Apollo-era computer, but again, they were cutting edge for the time, and it's remarkable how effective they are still. In DCS the Viggen will teach you good planning and tactics as your weapons and sensors are relatively primitive. But it's navigation is excellent, it's speed and handling at low-level are supurb, and it automates in all of the right places so that you can focus more on your surroundings.

In DCS I flew it in those same large scale missions along A-10s. We had rudimentary ECM and chaff/flares to keep us alive. But it was really our speed that did so. You pop up close to the target, using the ground to mask you all the way in, keeping your speed as high as possible (this is where good planning helps) and then egressing out, preferably back under cover (again, planning!) Done well, we'd be long gone before a SAM could respond, let alone close the distance. It didn't always work though, and against targets that were much more in the open, we didn't do so well. And that's pushing mach .9, or 600+ KIAS. So you can see how an A-10 bumbling along at 200-300 is having a rougher go of it.

I'd check out this great video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpFIHZJbTtY
Also search the /r/hoggit discussions over on Reddit. Viggen has a small but loyal following. It's not a good all-rounder, but it does certain things very well, and with style. =D

Also, check out any of the "F-111 w/ Jeff Guinn videos" over on Aircrew Interview, and how they handled SAMs and how "high speed/low level" was a very difficult problem for air defense to solve back then. Different plane, but very similar mission set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAyMklJSwi8
I think your comment is repugnant. We all have areas of our life where we can be a little naive. We, as a society, should work to protect the weakest among us - not blame them for their weaknesses.

If your problem is that these people aren't smart enough and shouldn't be voting, then a democracy probably isn't for you.
That would be high inequality, yes.

However, if the ruling class of 0.1% has 10% of the overall wealth, then that would be very low inequality. I would expect that to have been closer to the truth under the old USSR or the old Cuba, see the graph at: https://voxeu.org/sites/default/files/image/FromMay2014/novo... taken from: https://voxeu.org/article/inequality-and-property-russia-190...
iGPU and discrete GPU market shouldn't be compared imo. They don't cannibalize eachother.
Something else they are missing, which I hear started happening yesterday. People are also at risk of early assignment on their calls.
They could have done this decades ago, and not resisted the end of fossil fuels while profiting from what they knew was bad for the planet.

It’s great that they are finally investing heavily in renewables now they they are popular and economical, but if you expect me to cheer for the oil company, I’m expecting them to lead the charge to improve rather than follow the leaders before their business is toxic.
Is this f-u actually costing them any money? There are paper losses in the short term, but unless they're forced to actually cover those shorts, they don't materialize as real losses.

Are those losses occurring? Or is WSB just being self-congratulatory about how much of their own money they're throwing away, and being ignored by the people they're supposedly hurting?

(I genuinely don't know; it's hard to tell from the reporting. Nor am I an expert. I could imagine that some hedge fund is getting margin calls forcing them to cover shorts that would seem to be shaky. If that's the case, I could imagine those rules getting rewritten.)
My brain like your brain. Who need word when smaller word do trick. Double plus agree.
Your comment is delicious. You notice yourself it wouldn't be such a nice comment if it where made about a group you want to protect but it's perfectly fine if it is made about a group you dislike. Proving, again, "no bad tactics, only bad targets".
That sounds... fair? Like a normal expenditure (it doesn't sound like tax avoidance).

As an Android developer who's now making a hobby project that has a web UI, I don't understand it either. I'm doing it the old-fashioned way and it's so fast that my browser doesn't have the time to display a loading animation when I refresh the page.
One of the authors here. The idea (if we were to actually implement this in our product) would be to give the user some "boilerplate". We're no where near being able to automate a 100 line `SELECT` statement with CTE's etc., but it does a decent job of starting you off.
What has happened in that scenario is that the designer has failed in their job. Unfortunately it’s up to engineers to catch this, which they often don’t
There are many worse people in the world than this. I should have been more clear in saying malicious and maliciously motivated actors.
I like the swappable batteries, but I think they are impractical as a comparison to Tesla SuperChargers.

First, it's a logistics problem. Tesla has like 20,000 SuperChargers. If I'm driving on a road trip, I need to stop at a SuperCharger and there's let's say a dozen spots. In some locations those spots are full, others might be half empty and so forth. How will NIO supply the hardware to do these battery swaps? Will there be a dozen battery swap stations spread out similar to the SuperCharger network? Who will deliver the batteries? How many do you need? What happens if you show up and NIO ran out of batteries to swap? Will this actually be cheaper than the SuperCharger network for me?

I think it makes more sense to swap the batteries out from a manufacturing standpoint, but much less so for road trips. You can see NIO already shifting away from this with increased range.

If you could just swap out the batteries why even bother working on range (NIO touting 600km+ cars IIRC)? I guess that could further limit how many swap stations you need (they could be more spread out), but the problem is you end up spreading them just a long main routes. I need a SuperCharger/battery swap location in places like Marquette, Michigan or Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

And as a Tesla owner and road trip driver... I really don't mind waiting like 20 minutes for the battery to charge. It encourages me to take breaks I otherwise wouldn't have taken which are probably more healthy. Destination charging or a SuperCharger within a 20 minute drive of my destination are more of concerns for me now that I own an EV, but it just means the trip has to be planned out a little more.

I like NIO's ambitions and like the battery as a service prospect, but much more for hey I want to swap out my old battery for a new one to extend the life of my car.
This is one version of a broad category of highly elitist sentiments that is disturbingly common. They all take the form of underestimating a person's "intelligence" or "worth" based on that person's understanding of one aspect of one system, e.g. computer virus vectors ("only stupid people get viruses"), social engineering ("only stupid people fall for phone scams"), etc. It's poisonous, and pretty obviously immoral, but most of all, it's indicative of ignorance. Experience with people will demonstrate that this sentiment, even stripped of its hatefulness, just isn't factually true.
One of the authors here. You're exactly right. We're no where near being able to automate a 100 line `SELECT` statement with CTE's etc., but it does a decent job of starting you off.
Hey loved followers: "Now our good guy is in, go back to sleep while we expand the Empire and kill thousands of people abroad you dont care about."
While that may or not be true, those individuals still have a right to vote. Whether you or I like it or not. Someone interfered with that right.

You seem to be hallucinating. I cannot find anything I said defending the publisher. Perhaps you were responding to another post.

Which is such a shame, because Azure DevOps is honestly better (apart from the CI system).
Would that actually work? It takes time to issue new stock, and at that point, this may have passed.
For a humorous example of this, there's the movie Office Space, and the fight over the number of pieces of flair that Joanna is wearing. She wears 15 pieces of flair, the company required minimum, compared to the boss' favourite, Brian, who wears 37 pieces of flair.
You'll notice that the rise in media reporting on systematic racism correlates strongly with the rise in discussions about class difference, industry trends, globalization, etc. The latter was Bernie Sander's platform before he was "challenged" by BLM during the 2016 primary. Not to imply that Sanders didn't previously support BLM, but he rhetoric changed after that. It was clear to me that Sanders thought the primary issue was class and that by addressing that we would improve everyone's life who was affected by the economic troubles due to the issues you mention. It's almost as if someone has something to gain by splitting us apart rather than letting everyone focus on their common issues.
I wonder if there will be the notable absence of the CEO in this thread too.

That is remarkable.
I've heard of people doing this on Twitch.tv but I'm not sure how many are using emulators.
You're right, not that i have a choice.

> I'd like to see a rewrite of EM in Geometric Algebra focused not on pages and pages of abstract equations, but practical numerical applications.

What do you mean by practical? Do you mean something you can use to calculate the electric and the magnetic fields as if we didn't understand they're the same thing? That exists, they're described by their own fields of science which used to be called "Electricity" and "Magnetism" respectively. Of course, what's the point when you have Maxwell's equations?
The people will not be allowed to think about those things. The cathedral doesn't want people to start thinking about occupying Wall Street again, so they will keep everyone distracted with these other things. It's no surprise that every major corporation is loudly pushing woke topics.
I tested the Model Y and this was my impression as well. Everything about the car was great but the human factor. I need my dashboard at eyelevel to the windshield, not down and to my right. I need more controls that do a few things. Not few controls that try to do too many things. They literally took decades of research in automotive human factors research and dumped it in the trash. And now they are going to have to discover those lessons all over again.
This post seems to be addressing a specific phenomena and I tend to agree. I don't see the point in doing more than 1-2 introduction-level courses.

I'll take this chance to recommend 2 phenomenal free MOOCs:
1. Nand2Tetris[1] which really nails giving the realization (of not understanding just HOW MUCH) complexity there is in the layers upon layers of abstractions programmers use.

2. An introduction to Logic[2] via programming course (by one of the authors of the previous MOOC, Noam Nissan), which introduces logic (an overview that ultimately ends with Godel's completeness/incompleteness) in a relatively (to the rigorous math) approachable manner.
The one caveat is the book is still a work in progress, and it has many parts that are not well written.

I think the race problems lie with people rich enough to have the spare shits to give.
It's perfectly legitimate to say life stores information using only two "types" of things (AT or GC) which can be oriented one way or another, which is a "binary choice of the type". I explain it that way because it reaches a wider audience (easier to visualize)

However there's always at least one stickler who wants to quibble that the orientation is also a "binary bit" of information. Congratulations, you're him today!!
From some of the studies that I've seen of primary care practices moving to a cash only model, I think its in the range of 15-20% reduction in overhead costs. These were for the most part smaller independent clinics, so the number is probably lower for large health systems.
Microsoft found that compressed pages were always faster, because added by de-/compression was less than the latency to disk (given a sufficiently fast compression algorithm). As a bonus, it's also faster to read and write compressed pages to disk (if that absolutely has to happen). Zswap is therefore enabled by default on Windows.

I configure my own kernel on Arch and Zswap is enabled by default there, too.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but to spell it out: one good hypothesis might be that the victor in the election in question left office last week and doesn't control the justice department anymore. The same guy fired one FBI director and two attorneys general during the same term.

This case seems to be based on a handful of public tweets and some phone records that can be trivially subpoenaed. It's clearly been ready for years, and was likely suppressed internally.
For some context on why this cost-plus is necessary and great, several generic manufacturers have been colluding and price-fixing. There are ongoing lawsuits from the Department of Justice and 46 states, and at least one pharma co pled guilty, and was fined $200 million.

Really you just have to frame it as such. There is a distinction here, race issues tend to deal with the interface between citizens and the government (police among other things) where class issues tend to deal with the interface between corporations and the government.

This is a gross oversimplification, but I think the takeaway is it's ok to have spaces for both discussions.

I'd also add that both discussions are happening concurrently. The race issue is big right now, but economic justice is still a central topic. Occupy was a good example even if not a well organized one.
Love it, I think that’s a great approach. Build a bunch of tiny “stupid” things of increasing complexity and before long you’ll step back and realize how much you’ve improved. I trying to instill this in folks as I teach React - rather than building some portfolio masterpiece out the gate, do a bunch of little fun things to build skills and confidence.

The trouble with any of this stuff is that no course/book/tutorial can prepare you for every eventuality, and sooner or later you’re going to want to do a thing that nobody explicitly taught you, with a combination of tools that differs from any tutorial you can find. I think building up skills in the way you’re doing it is great preparation for that eventuality.

Peru: Sharp Reductions in Covid-19 Deaths with Ivermectin Treatments
Looking at their financials, it looks like they’ve massively increased headcount to battle these “integrity” problems. It at least looks like they’ve invested a ton of money. From the outside, I am not sure it’s been effective, but to be fair, have there been as many issues since they started investing significantly around 2018? Most of the major problems look like it happened before. (Not to excuse that time, but if they are fixing issues then it changes the future projections while still not letting them off the hook for past problems)
I like learning about other people's opinions, even if they're just opinions. They help me refine my own.

Besides, not everyone has the ability to "do it your own way". Sharing opinions like this can be a good way to determine if there's value in an idea and maybe even get help if needed.
$240 a year (per engineer) to keep your engineers focusing on providing product value is beyond paying for itself.

Building custom in house tooling always costs 5x more than engineers believe, and ultimately doesn't improve your end product. This kind of tooling would probably require at least 100 engineers to justify the innate cost of building and maintaining it.
For example, on Nov. 1, 2016, Mackey allegedly tweeted an image that featured an African American woman standing in front of an “African Americans for [the Candidate]” sign. The image included the following text: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home. Text ‘[Candidate’s first name]’ to 59925[.] Vote for [the Candidate] and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by [Candidate] for President 2016.”

that seems reasonably open-and-shut "very naughty, no, bad, don't do that!"
This is the main reason that I still like proper books over quick tutorials. It's easy to end up fighting platforms and frameworks to make it do what you want. If you know the patterns and available features, it's less likely that you'll face the same levels of friction.
I don't think the arbitrary nature is as big of a deal as the first user suggests. If policy makers were truly optimizing for poverty rate reduction of that single metric than Goodhart's law would come into play - but they don't really do that. Other people use other thresholds and I've never seen any evidence that people just below the poverty line getting help is responsible for the shift.
The frame of mind that kept me going was focusing on my effort, instead of an outcome. I visualized my effort by tracking job applications. I applied to a lot, so at the end of the day, that metric is what made me feel successful at the end of the day, not necessarily whether some inundated recruiter emailed me back.
Just signed up and am finishing the integration. One thing though: I don't think 30 requests is enough in the free plan, there are many features to be tried out. After reaching the limit, I'm still not confident that I should commit to your service. Maybe you could shove a watermark in there after the 30 free requests? Just so that people can keep testing out different templates, colour combinations, dimensions, stuff like that. Our designer wants to play around with the template creator now but I had to create some throwaway accounts for him to do so.

Congratz on your journey, you're in a market that has been barely explored, so much potential.
A good comparison is veterinary medicine in the US. All the functionality is fundamentally the same, but insurance isn't common. Prices are vastly lower, and it's all super-convenient. Typical for an injury requiring stitches: $150, plus $15 for some antibiotics, which they hand you as you walk out.

Every time I go to the doctor I wish I could take myself to the vet instead.
Lot's of private hospitals work like this in Europe and you can get really cheap care, plus the standard is quite high.

I'd say that's the problem of modern journalism. They have to compete with algorithms that maximize clicks and engagement, no matter what content. I hope I'm wrong but I see no way how this battle can be won in the long run. Maybe a bill to make big tech pay for the content they "appropriate" (or synthesize from sources with AI) would at least be a try.

It is interesting to me the way these research results are spun. A previous study[1] that paid users to quit Facebook found that they were happier, and were less up to date about news and politics. The headlines were all some variation of "quitting facebook will make you happier", as opposed to "keeping up to date on news / politics makes you unhappy".

Similarly, the headline here says "Social media damages teenagers' mental health, report says" while the body of the article notes:

“Those who feel worse may turn to social media for solace or community,” Dr Amy Orben, research fellow at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, said of the research.

“It’s not a vacuum, it works both ways."

The engine behind that add-on, Axe core, can be called from JS and there are some open source tools around to integrate it in your CI. I would say Axe is kind of the gold standard at this time when it comes to automated accessibility testing. Not because it catches the highest number of issues, but if it flags something you can be pretty sure it's a real issue and not a false positive.
It's not any one group shorting that much. It's just that the aggregate has shorted that much.

And I'm not sure that it really matters that the shorts exceed the total stock available. Because it's not like everyone will have to cover their shorts at the exact same moment. An entity can buy stock to cover their shorts, then the entity that received the stock to cover the "uncovered" position would then be free to turn around and sell that stock again.

The real risk would be having a super large short position for a stock that has very low volume since it would be very difficult to cover lots of shorts if there aren't many people selling stock.
